Xu Yang vaguely remembered watching a movie called "Demon Hunter Police," where the protagonist used the "Daoist Tracking Skill" to track down a suspect.
The various ghost and zombie films starring that actor were based on a script that modeled the character after the sect leader of the Maoshan, "Master Yimei."
Don't ask why the Maoshan Sect agreed to allow film companies to make such movies…
The answer is Maoshan Holdings.
The script was even written by someone the Maoshan Sect brought in!
Nowadays, which of the big Daoist sects or clans doesn't have some lucrative business under their belt?
Even the Buddhists nearly went public on the stock market once!
Getting back to the main story.
Xu Yang began his ritual by drawing a map with a wooden stick.
He opened his eyes, scanned the diagram on the ground, and then followed the directions, making turns here and there, finally halting on top of a hill.
The hill was quite peculiar.
